krisrny 2 Posted December 23, 2016 Definitely fluids, I'm at the same point as you, had surgery 11-21 and no lotion works on mine either. But I got more Water in and saw improvements a few days later. Sorry you're having this issue. Best wishes.

DebiW 45 Posted December 23, 2016 I have noticed not the dry skin. But rather the cracked heels of my feet. I researched causes for this online and it stated being dehydrated. I think I am just not hydrated enough and have made a vow to work harder on getting more fluids in to help avoid this.

NWJill 119 Posted January 10, 2017 Remedy skin repair cream with olivamine, I have very sensitive skin and lymphedema in my legs so I have to use moisturizer all of the time. This is one my physical therapist used for my massage treatments and I haven't used another since. You can buy on Amazon.
